Stampin' Up! Artful Amaryllis 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artful Amaryllis Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Take A Bow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper and Countryside Corners Dies for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Artful Amaryllis 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Take A Bow DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhered the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Artful Amaryllis 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Countryside Corners Dies, cut a panel of Basic White. Using a Blending Brush, add some Pool Party Ink in the center of the die cut panel. Adhere the die cut panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Artful Amaryllis 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the outlined flower image from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. Stamp the solid flower images from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set in Real Red Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the solid stem/leaf image from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Cut the image out using the Artful Amaryllis Dies. Adhere the flower to the center of the die cut panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a double bow using White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack. Adhere the bow to the bottom of the stem using a Glue Dot. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Dots for Days to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Sympathy

Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a rainy one here on Saturday but yesterday was a gorgeous day, especially in the evening.

Today’s card is one of those cards you hate to make but sometimes just have to. We lost one of our fellow workers last week. He was such an awesome guy, that always made us laugh until our sides hurt. He was all about helping the customers find what they wanted and help them to fix things they needed help with. He is going to be truly missed. I wanted to send a special card to his wife and family. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sympathy 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Hope You Know Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Photopolymer Stamp Set, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and Countryside Corners Deis for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sympathy 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered 5 panels of Perennial Lavender DSP to a Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sympathy 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Lost Lagoon, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Countryside Corners Dies.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sympathy 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a piece of Basic Beige 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sympathy 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Hope You Know stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from Painted Lavender stamps et in Lost Lagoon Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.

Stampin' Up! Hope You Know Sympathy 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Painted Lavender stamp set on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon Ink. I adhered a strip of the Perennial Lavender DSP to the front of the envelope and a panel to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Baby Card

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend. Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day, sunny and cool all day. I was out multiple times taking Cora for little walks. For the most part, I was in my craft studio designing cards for an upcoming vendor event. The event is next month and I’ll be holding classes at it. I’ll be doing a beginner class, an intermediate and an advanced. I had to get cards designed for each of the classes so I could send them pictures to advertise with.

Today’s card is one of the cards I designed for one of the classes next month. I’m trying to get a variety of cards. Since the event is at the end of the month, I needed to use products that I know will be available, and this DSP is one that will be carrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love Photopolymer Stamp Set (available May 1) along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Basics 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details Cling Stamp Set, and Stampin’ Up! Something Fancy Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Basic White using the 3rd largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of the Countryside Inn DSP using the 4th largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the DSP panel to the Basic White embossed panel using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic Whtie, I stamped the sentiments from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Boho Blue Ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the card front using a Glue Dot. I added an Adhesive-Backed Solid Gem to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set and the Something Fancy stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Night of Navy mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Love Baby 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. I colored the eggs using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker. I adhered a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched CAS

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? It’s another rainy day here in NJ. It rained most of the night and is supposed to continue on most of the day. Good day to stay in and craft as far as I’m concerned.

Today’s I have a super simple card using products from the Annual Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com
#simplestamping

I kept my card CAS today with just Stamps, Ink and Paper. I used the Stampin’ Up! Softly Sketched Cling Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Layering Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

My colors are from Color Throwdown Countdown Challenge #777.

Stampin' Up! Softly Sketched CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by using my Blending Brush and adding Bubble Bath Ink to a Basic White card front. I had cut a mask using the Countryside Corners Dies and placed it over the card front.

I stamped the flower/butterfly image from the Softly Sketched stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the side of the blended section.

I stamped the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the bottom of the blended section. I stamped the splatter image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Real Red Ink around the stamped image. I adhered the Basic White card front to a Night of Navy mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Bubble Bath card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Bundle along with the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper and Countryside Corners Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by cutting a panel of Basic White using the Countryside Corners Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the die cut panel to a Bee Mine DSP card front using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered strips of Petal Pink along all the edges of the die cut up to the sides of the DSP, letting the excess hang over. Once I went all the way around with the strips of Petal Pink, I flipped the panel over and trimmed off the excess with Paper Snips. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Fractured Card 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the solid bee image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink. I stamped the bee stripes and face from the Bee My Valentine stamp set on the solid image in Tuxedo Black Ink. I punched the image out using the Bee Builder Punch. I stamped the detailed wings image from the Bee My Valentine stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on the Basic White panel. I cut the wings out using the Bee Builder Punch. I adhered the wings to the back of the bee body using a Glue Dot. I stamped the dotted image and the antenna from the Bee My Valentine stamp set to the sentiment panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the bee to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a heart from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers to the bottom of the panel.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

January-April 2024 Mini Catalog Paper Shares Ordering Is Open

Do you want all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers and pretty Ribbon in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything?  I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share and a Ribbon Share! What is a Paper Share and a Ribbon Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers and the Ribbon from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Minil Catalog.  If you were to purchase all of the DSP and Ribbon in the new Mini Catalog, it would cost you over $141.00 plus shipping.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail Shipping

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4th. I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 15th.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

New Designer Series Paper Share – $15.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Bee Mine – 6
  • Forever Love – 6
  • Just Kiddin’ -6
  • Light Than Air 6″ X 6″ – 8
  • Nature’s Sweetest – 6
  • Perennial Lavender – 6
  • Poetic Expressions – 6
  • Rock & Roll – 6

In all, you’ll receive 50 – 6” x 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $30 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.

As a Thank you gift for joining in on my paper share, I will be including a sampling of some of the new Sale-a-bration DSP that will be available with qualifying orders. I believe there are 5 different DSPs in the Sale-a-bration catalog. I’m not sure yet which ones I’ll be including, it might be 1, 3 or all 5.

New Ribbon Share – $10.00 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons or Baker’s Twine.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • 1/4″ Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon
  • 3/8″ Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon
  • Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack
  • 1/8″ Gold Faux Leather Trim

Double Ribbon Share – $20 + $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping – If you’d like double shares of the Ribbon, you will be getting 1/2 of the roll or each ribbon and baker’s twine.

$25 for a single share + $8.50 shipping

$50 for a double share + $8.50 shipping.

Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Mary’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Giving Thanks”. We can interpret this however we want. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Bundle along with the Earthen Elegance DSP, Nested Essentials Dies, Countryside Corners Dies, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and Countryside Corners Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to a Misty Moonlight mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Pecan Pie card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut a panel of Basic White using the Nested Essentials Dies. I embossed the die cut panel using the Exposed Brick 3D EF. I adhered the embossed die cut to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Fruitful Blessings Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. From a panel of Granny Apple Green, I cut the leaf dies using the Fruitful Blessings Dies. I adhered the floral image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the leaves under the floral image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Misty Moonlight, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Countryside Corners Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using Linen Thread and adhered it to the bottom of the floral image using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a pane of Basic White. I stamped the leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of Earthen Elegance DSP to the side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Fruitful Blessings Grateful 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small leaf image from the Fruitful Blessings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Earthen Elegance DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies and Sentiment Silhouettes Dies for my super simple baby card today.

These are our colors for this week.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Countryside Inn DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 different panels of the Countryside Inn DSP using the 3rd & 4th Countryside Corners Dies.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the smaller die cut panel of Countryside Inn DSP to the larger one using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I cut the sentiment out with the coordinating die from Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the artwork panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a small bow using the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the artwork using a Glue Dot.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Boho Blue Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered a strip of Countryside Inn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Boho Blue mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Baby 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of Countryside Inn DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are ready for the weekend. I’ll be working all day tomorrow, this time at the Dog Bakery. I don’t usually work there on Saturday, but it seems like everyone needed the same weekend off so I told her I would make myself available to work. I believe I may have Sunday off, which will be nice. It’s supposed to be a very rainy weekend here, so I really don’t mind working.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. I have figured out how to see comments while I’m live, but my computer was across the table so I could read them. I will get this all figured out soon. This is a card similar to one that we made last week at our mystery stamping after our Stamping Studio meeting. I had a comment on my Instagram page asking if I made a video of the card, so I thought I would make it live. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Countryside Corners Dies and Gold Celebration Specialty Designer Series Paper for my tissue box fun fold card today.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring and folding the 2 panels of Lemon Lime Twist on the 5″ side every 1″. I folded each panel into a box and adhered them together using Tear & Tape. I adhered the 2 boxes together, only on the ends leaving the center open to insert card, using Tear & Tape.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the 4 panels of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the 2 sides and top using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the 3 balloon images from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Balloons Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Inks. I cut the images out using the Beautiful Balloons Dies. I cut the streamers using the Beautiful Balloons Dies from panels of Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly cardstock. On the large Lemon Lolly balloon, I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. From a panel of Basic White, I cut 2 of the 3rd largest Countryside Corners Dies. I embossed one of them using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. From a panel of Gold Celebration DSP I cut the same size of the Countryside Corners Die.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the balloons and streamers to the Gold Celebration DSP die cut panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots. I adhered the Gold Celebration die cut to the Basic White embossed die cut panel using Glue Dots under where the balloons and streamers are. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio to the balloon. I wrapped a piece of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon from the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around the front box and tied a knot.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the other Basic White die cut panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I stamped the medium balloon from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Lemon Lolly Ink under the sentiment. I stamped the balloon string in Pretty Peacock Ink and the streamers in Lemon Lime Twist Ink under the balloon. I adhered the panel to the back of the layered Gold Celebration panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I put Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the bottom front and back of the layered panel and slipped it in between the 2 boxes.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Balloons Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the balloon and streamer images from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the strings and sentiment from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in Pretty Peacock. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends it’s Cinco de Mayo!!! Welcome to my fun fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone making plans for the weekend yet?

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set and Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my easel card today.

I played along with The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 638. I went right down the center with layers, die cuts and fun fold.

The design on the front of my card is from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge 413.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by scoring & folding the Pool Party card base as listed below. I adhered the 1 1/4″ top of the card base together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to make a book fold card. The other fold will act as the easel. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a smaller panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to a smaller Lost Lagoon mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the smaller layered panel to the top of the card base (that I adhered together) using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I cut a panel of Bubble Bath cardstock using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the strip of Bubble Bath cardstock to the strip of Pool Party cardstock using Glue Dots. I adhered the strips just under the layered square using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the basket image from the Stampin’ Up! Crafting With You Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the yarn image from the Crafting With You in Lost Lagoon and Pool Party Inks. I cut the images out using the Crafting With You Dies. I adhered the basket to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered 1 of the yarn images behind the basket using Glue Dots and the other at the bottom of the basket using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the smallest die from the Countryside Corners Dies I cut the banner from the Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Lasting Joy stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the banner. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using a Glue Dot and Stampin’ Dimensional. I cut the scissor die from the Crafting With You Dies from a panel of Silver Foil paper and Lost Lagoon. I cut the handles off the Lost Lagoon scissors and adhered them to the Silver Foil scissors. I adhered the scissors together with a Glue Dot and added a silver Festive Pearl in the center. I adhered the scissors to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to the bottom of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside, I stamped the large and small flower images from the Crafting With You in the corners of the Basic Whtie panel. I inked up the stamp with Bubble Bath Ink, then used my Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Write Marker to color the leaves. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Pool Party card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Crafting With You stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie. I cut the sentiment out using the hoop die from the Crafting With You Dies. I cut another hoop using the Crafting With You Dies from a panel of Lost Lagoon cardstock. I adhered Stampin’ Dimensionals.to the back to hold the 2 parts together. I sniped off the top of the hoop using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the center using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the panel. This will act as the easel stop. I added a few Festive Pearls to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Crafting With You Easel 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the yarn and flower images from the Crafting With You stamp set on the envelope front using Bubble Bath, Lost Lagoon and Pool Party Inks. I adhered a panel of Bright & Beautiful DSP to the envelope flap.

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
